On April 27, Allen became just the third player ever from Fond du Lac High School to be selected in the NFL Draft. The only other two players to get drafted as a Fond du Lac alum are Robert Windsor (2020, Colts) and Cory Raymer (1995, Washington).
“It means everything. I was born and raised, and I’m big into giving back to the community and being a role model for the kids that are from there. Being able to show that it’s possible to play on the big stage and get to where you want to get to in life would mean a lot to me,” Braelon said before 2024’s NFL Draft.
